5 <br /> 410 . Survey of Existing Land VSe. <br /> The and use survey is important because it will <br /> determine the amount of land in the JPA that is undeveloped. <br /> Development Intensity Types assigned to undeveloped areas <br /> will determine which areas can support additional growth and <br /> which cannot. This data compiled with goals and objectives, <br /> location standards, and population projections will determine <br /> the form and content of the JPA Land Use Plan. <br /> The approach to determining existing land use is one of <br /> mapping all in-house data on existing land use and then <br /> taking these maps into the field for verification/correction <br /> purposes. We are fortunate in that Chapel Hill as part of <br /> its thoroughfare planning program did a dwelling unit survey <br /> in all areas encompassed by the thoroughfare plan. This <br /> covers most of the JPA and Chapel Hill has made this data <br /> available to us. Other land use information is coming from <br /> previous surveys in the North Chapel Hill Area and the <br /> University Lake Watershed. <br /> Tentative plans are to send two people into the field <br /> this week to begin updating the land use maps. . <br /> III <br /> 1 <br /> III <br />
